I'm still here, going to japan on friday to pack container and hopefully get an exhaust for the staj. I have a HKS split dump but there is no sense in putting it on if it gets choked down the pipe. Once all is done it is time for a dyno run. WIll post the sheet when it happens.

Cool, looks like everyone is getting some mods done soon. I'm keen to see how everyone goes.

I've got mine booked in on 17th Jan for the Unichip and boost controller to be installed and tuned (attempt two !!). Hopefully this time I've got the right ECU pin outs for the Stagea...

I 'think' I'm the first person to try a Unichip on a Stagea !! So fingers crossed :D

The only thing I need to do before it goes in for the install and tune is to get the car up on a hoist and make sure the 'get the car into rwd only mode' actually works. Otherwise I'll have to get them to pull the front drive shaft.

The Unichip has a boost control option (add on bit) that uses the factory solenoid to bleed the air. It's good and stable upto 13psi which is heaps enough for me. Not sure how much the boost control add on bit is cause I bought the Unichip and boost control second hand :D

It's pretty much tuned for the set up I have, but will need a check and quick tune on a dyno just to make sure :D

I'm just keen to get it in and see the results. Plus I'm dying to turn the boost up :)

Hi J make sure you test out the auto shift quality for us:cheers:

Yepp, I'll give everyone a full run down when I get back from the workshop.

It's a bit scary being the first to try a Unichip on a Stagea, but I won't know if I don't try....

hey guys well my project is coming along nicely at the moment :D

finished the power steering bracket (moved forward 12mm) to bolt on the stock stagea pump

air con pump just about fits on but one of the pipes just touches the front turbo, but easily fixable with abit of tapping :)

clutch master cylinder and vacuum booster are now mounted in the firewall, and pedal box is ready to be bolted in (with a few mods to line up stock holes)

my sump is ready to go on the engine, just got a a set of hks s/s manifolds on the way so ill be putting them on before engine goes back in.

gearbox is being cleaned with a wire brush on the drill and what a bloody difference it makes :aroused:

stock stagea tailshaft looks to fit perfectly (the auto and gtr 5 speed are identical in length)

cooler is setup to mount, just gotta weld the brackets onto the front support bar

still waiting on a handbrake (trying to find one from skyline/silvia/etc)

luckily my front pipes from dump pipes to cat fit perfectly under the stagea (better fit than the vl) so that saves us heaps of pissing around :)

thats about it at the moment

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
